ARM-BAN D.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CATHARINE F. Conco- BAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Williston, in the county of Williams and State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Arm-Bands, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My present invention relates particularly 'to new and useful improvements in supports or hangers for a conductor wire for gas tubes of electric and gas irons and has especial reference to a device of this character which is adapted for attachment to the operators arm. f

The principal object of the invention is to provide a supporter or hanger of the character specified which is formed in the nature of an arm band adapted to be worn on the arm of the person using the iron an to be employed as a means for taking up the slack in the conducting wire or gas tube,

' so that there will be no hampering length of wire or tubing to annoy and inconvenience the operator when the iron is being used.

A more specific object of the invention is to provide an arm band of the character specified which is so designed that it may be'quickly and easily applied to or removed may be easily engaged with or or tubing.

The above, and other incidental objects of .a similar nature, which will be hereinafter more specifically treated are 1 accomplished by such means as are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, described in the following specification, and then more particularly pointed-out in the claim which is appended hereto and forms part of this application.

With reference to the drawings, wherein there has been illustrated the preferred embodiment of this invention, as it is reduced to practice, and throughout the several views of which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts,

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the arm-band in use on an operators arm and illustrating the mannerin which the device is adapted to take care of the slack in the conductor wire or tubing; Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view, showing the device in detail.

Specification of Letters Patent.

In taking up the detaileddescription of the invention, reference will first be had particularly to Fig. 1, wherein the device is illustrated in use; As shown in this figure, the hanger or support consists in an elastic arm band 10, which is applied to the arm of .the person using the iron indicated .at A, and is accompanied by a hanger loop 11, which receives the conductor wire, indicated at B. As will be readily discerned, upon reference to Fig. 1, the conductor wire may be engaged with the supporting loop 11, in such manner that this member will act to, take up the slack which might otherwise occur in the portion of the conductor wire adjacent to the iron. A slack in the conductor wire will, of course, be present as indicated at 12, but, as illustrated in Fig. 1, the slack will be so located as not to inter- ,fere with the convenient handling of the iron.- Obviously, therefore, the present device constitutes a means for eliminating one of the principal objections entered against irons of the electric and gas types.

Patented Dec. 21, .1915. Application filed June 12, 1915. Serial No. 83,816. I

As regards the specific, construction or I formation of the device, it is to be primarily noted that it may be subjected to numerous modifications, without departing in any way from the spirit of the invention. However,

the preferred embodiment of the device includes the arm band f0, which is formed from a strip of elastic cloth of the well known type. One end of this cloth isprovided with an adjusting buckle 13, which is preferably of the kind employed in connection with garters and suspenders. The member 13 is, of course, adapted to-permit the armband to be lengthened 0r shortened at will, to fit it to arms of difierent sizes. The loop 11, preferably consists in a strip of leather, the one end of which is provided with a conventional connecting member 14, which serves to attach the strap' to the arm band. The other end of the strap is provided with a socket 15, of the "snap type, which is adapted to engage with the stud 16 secured to the strap immediately adjacent to the end thereof which is connected to the member 15. As will be readily observed the loop may be opened and passed aroun the conductor wire or tubing and then closed by engaging the socket over the stud mem-' Particular attention is directed to the fact that the present device prevents the. occurrence of slack in the conductor wire or not reduce the effective length of the con-' ductor Wire or tubing.

In reduction to practice, it has been found that the form of this invention illustrated \inrthe drawings and referred to inothe. above description as the preferred embodiment, is the most efficient and practical; yet

7 realizing that the conditions concurrent with the adoption of this device will necessarily vary, it is desirable to emphasize the fact that various minor changes inthe details of construction, proportion and arrange ment of parts may be resorted to, When required, Without sacrificing any of the ad vantages of this'invention, as defined bythe appended claim.

What is claimed is The combination with; an iron and the flexible energy supplying member therefor, of a supporting 100p having a snap fastener connecting its terminals, an elastic arm band for attaching the loop to the arm of the person using the iron, and aiiadjusting buckle for the arm band.

In'testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
